I've begun writing a class of modules for myself to facilitate the gathering of events in my community. I'm using the Moose extension to help me write OO code.

So far, I have an EventRepository class that in ~/perl-lib/EventRepository.pm file on my computer. I now wish to create a subclass of EventRepository that will be called something like EventRepository::SubClass.

I'm unsure where to put the code for SubClass.pm, however. Do I just drop it into ~/perl-lib/ alongside of the EventRepository.pm file. But I see other families of classes nesting their directories inside of one another to mimic the class hierarchy but I'm not sure how to make that work. Do I create an EventRepository folder and put EventRepository.pm inside of that folder along with a SubClass subfolder and drop SubClass.pm into that subfolder?

Any guidance on best practices would be appreciated. Thanks.
